Topic: Bluray Ripping (Read 4663 times)

I got myself a BD-ROM (its a samsung) that I got RPC-1 firmware from RPC1.org (I am assuming it is RPC-1 firmware). When I install a bluray disk, the 'do you wish to rip' message appears and I acknowledge with yes. Immediately the rip fails (even a regular DVD will fail after about 15 to 20 percent).

There is little information on LMCE Bluray ripping... is there any extra software I need to load? if so, what?

I am not even sure where disc ripping is logged to.. the disk device (51) is here

I had a quick look into ripping bluray a while ago and you could use something like a combination of the dumphd and there may have been a program called clownbd as well. The only thing was they weren't all that effective. Things may have improved since then but you'll have to google it.

The only program that I found that worked is Any DVD HD, a paid software that only runs in windows. I have mine running (not part of LMCE) inside a windows VM.

The Bluray format is encumbered by an encryption key which is supposed to be secret. It has been leaked, changed, leaked and changed again. This means that you cannot expect Bluray-playing software that works now to work in the future.

Remember to vote with your wallet! We don't want DRM since it actually prohibits what is considered legal action (e.g. making private backups on disk or discs) in most European countries. When someone talks to you about Digital Rights Management, beware that they mean Digital Restrictions Management.my2c:)

Do you have an alternative to Blu-Ray Disc based content for those who like hires video content? One without DRM?

Wish I had. Not sure if that was tongue-in-cheek or not, but the answer is of course and unfortunately no. At the moment, and except for hi-def videos transferred over the Internet from freedom loving souls, I cannot access hi-def content on media without DRM. That doesn't mean the manufacturers should get away with restricting our use of media we already payed for. DRM is not a part of the content in any way, it is added later, as the media corporations' way of to taking the job of judge, jury and police. It is not democratic and it only hurts the movie industry.

Case in point: Right now it's easier to pirate than to watch your own discs.. With regards to voting with your wallet; if you find out that some manufacturer makes Bluray discs with the old (and now distributed) keys then buy from them, for example. But this is a political issue, and not to the point of the OP.

It is sooo easy to say, don't buy DRM crippled stuff. Unfortunately, there are people who spend a good amount of money to have good quality playback equipment, and who want to enjoy that equipment to the fullest. No way around Blu-Rays. Will torrenting make the studios rethink DRM? I doubt it, as, contrary to what happened with audio, the file sizes exploded compared to the bandwidth available. Where it took, even on a meagure 28k analog modem an hour to transfer an album (iirc, could do the math, but don't want to), torrenting or other illegal download methods take multiple hours, if not days, to get things. My 0.02EUR.

But it is beside the point. Blu-Ray playback is not here at the moment. Blu-Ray ripping can be accomplished using MakeMKV. ripDiskWrapper.sh is a shell script which people can look at and amend to work with MakeMKV in case the makemkv binaries are available someplace on the system. Done.

1) Blockbuster has closed the majority of its stores due to the business going south.

2) I went to the local rental store and they didn't have the movie I was looking for. THEY DIDN'T HAVE IT! REALLY? WHY CAN'T THEY HAVE AN EXTENSIVE MOVIE LIBRARY ON A HARD DRIVE AND PRINT ME A TIME-LIMITED DISC AT THE STORE? THE PRINTING COST WOULD BE NEXT TO NILL! I'M SURE SOME INNOVATIVE PAPER-PUSHERS COULD WORK OUT A LICENSING AGREEMENT WITH THE RIGHTS-HOLDERS!

I went home empty-handed, and I'm sure you can guess where I eventually got the movie.

F*ck bluray. If they can't have the damn media available what's the fricking point? I really tried to support the movie industry here, but they're just making it too difficult.

WHY CAN'T THEY HAVE AN EXTENSIVE MOVIE LIBRARY ON A HARD DRIVE AND PRINT ME A TIME-LIMITED DISC AT THE STORE?

That will likely be Redbox's next big move, with the mass-market adoptation of usb 3.0. Except instead of a time-limited disc, it'll be a time-limited usb flash drive. The alleged transfer time for a 50GB movie is supposed to be ~90 sec.
